اَللَّهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِيْ، وَتَوَفَّنِيْ إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي، اَللَّهُمَّ وَأَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ وَالْغِنَى، وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ، وأَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَا بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَسْأْلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ، وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ، فِي غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ، وَلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ، اَللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ، وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ
Allaahumma bi 'ilmikal-ghaiba wa qudratika 'alal-khalqi a’hyini maa 'alimtal-‘hayaata khairan li, wa tawaffani idhaa 'alimtal-wafata khairan li. Allaahumma wa as'aluka khashyataka fil-ghaibi wash-shahaadati wa as'aluka kalimatal-haqqi fir-ridaa wal ghadabi, wa as'alukal-qasda fil faqri wal-ghinaa, wa as'aluka na'iman laa yanfadu wa as'aluka qurrata ‘ainin laa tanqati'u wa as'alukar-ridaa ba'dal-qadaa'i, wa as'aluka bardal 'aishi ba'dal-mawti, wa as'aluka ladh dhatan-nazari ilaa wajhika wash-shawqa ilaa liqaa'ika fi ghayri darraa'a mudirratin, wala fitnatin mudillatin, Allaahumma zayyinnaa bizinatil-imani waj'alna hudaatam muhtadin

I ask You for the sweetness of looking upon Your face and a longing to meet You in a manner that does not entail a calamity that will bring about harm or a trial that will cause deviation. O Allah, beautify us with the adornment of faith and make us among those who guide and are rightly guided.
